i am not surprised, considering the economy right now, to see formerly free materials suddenly have a price tag attached.

some casinos do charge for the form but its just a dollar.

The cutting off of free info. is the result of how "tight" the dollar really is.
As a close watcher of handle of the OTB corp that employs me, I can tell you that free info is very costly. Equibase et al is putting the squeeze on everyone therefore making free info no longer free. The fees are costly.
The down handle figures posted on different sites for race tracks etc are real. For a lot of reasons this game and others are in big money trouble.
For at least the last 60 days I have seen 1 up day so far and that was this past Wednesday. As a Dept Head I have been asked for several reports asking for the barest of minimum to operate at the risk of shutting down.
